A Larose man was killed in a two-vehicle crash Tuesday morning on La. 3235 in Lafourche Parish after his vehicle struck another vehicle in the rear, State Police said.

The victim was identified as Jason Guidry, 46, of Larose.

A 2006 International single unit flatbed truck, driven by Gary Bourgeois, 61, of Westwego, was traveling south on La. 3235 at the La. 3162 intersection when a southbound 2006 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Guidry struck the International in the rear.

Upon impact, a large welding machine in the rear of the Silverado slid forward, crushing the cab around Guidry and trapping him, police said. Guidry, who was wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead on the scene by the Lafourche Parish Coroner’s Office.

Bourgeois, who was wearing a seat belt, was transported to Lady of the Sea Hospital in Galliano with what authorities described as minor injuries.

Alcohol use is not suspected. Routine toxicology tests are pending for Guidry. Blood was taken from Bourgeois and test results are pending.
